Adel Dould, an 18-year-old from Illinois, was arrested by the FBI for allegedly planning to detonate a car bomb outside a Chicago bar. The man may face life imprisonment if found guilty of the charges made against him in the FBI’s criminal complaint. According to the law-enforcement agency’s statement, agents have monitored Dould for the past year, ever since he made Internet posts related to jihadist activities. FBI agents provided him with the supposed explosives he allegedly planned to use in the attack, and they would not have caused damage, the bureau said.
